Could not load symbol "jl_system_image_data", fail to precompile

Precompilation of a project on a shared server breaks, due to the following error:

 Error: Error during loading of extension IntervalSetsRandomExt of IntervalSets, use `Base.retry_load_extensions()` to retry.
│   exception =
│    1-element ExceptionStack:
│    could not load symbol "jl_system_image_data":
│    /eos/home-s/sfranche/.julia/compiled/v1.10/IntervalSetsRandomExt/GqezX_gyIes.so: undefined symbol: jl_system_image_data
│    Stacktrace:

The same error occurs for few other extensions:

BangBangTablesExt of BangBang
BangBangStructArraysExt of BangBang
IntervalSetsRandomExt of IntervalSets
FillArraysPDMatsExt of FillArrays
FillArraysSparseArraysExt of FillArrays

I’ve tried several times, also re-installing julia fresh, but can’t make it work. While on other servers and on my local laptop things do work. :person_shrugging:

Has anyone some clue on where is this coming from?

Thanks for any help!

What is the output of:

versioninfo()

What is the output of:

using Pkg
Pkg.status()

?
And how did you install Julia?

I found that the problem goes away on 1.11-beta2, or older version actually, for example 1.10.0 was also fine.

You can try juliaup add 1.11 and then start Julia with julia +1.11 --project see if that fixes issue, it fixed for me on the EOS
